How MeIicans Treat Their Dogs.

The treatment for mad dogs in this
country, il is my firm belief, knocks
the Pasteur system hollow" Ii is simple,
too, in the extreme, being based upon one
proposition namely. not TO let the dogs 20
mad. From early III the spring until the
close Of the warm season-if a climate 80
eguable as that of Mexico may he said TO
have defirite seasons-the observer here
may note one feature which will remind
him strc lgly of Alexandria and other
points o! the orient. Just inside the door
of every establishment sits a vessel Of
more or less capacity, fast anchored by
chain. a cord, a rope or a lerther thong.
The swell shops have snowy bowls Of
china, glass or decorated metal, with
handsome chains, and thence the article
runs down the scale TO the makeshift con
trivaHee Of the poor for the same purpose.
The other extreme may be seen in the
wooden roughly dug out tray, the pipkin
Of coarse brown earthenware, which may
he bought for Il cent, or the exempt coal
oil can cut down 10 n suitable height,
which stand i'll he doorways of petty shops
or across the grimy threshold Of the dark
dens of the charcoal sellers. But the Use is
the same wherever seen, and the tired and
thirsty dog who wags his vagabond tail
while he laps the merciful, saving water
is not so un.rateful as TO discriminate in
favor of the more costly holder.
Not long ago Mexico was visited by a
gentleman Of, | may say, a national repu-
tation, who adds to his journalistic and
political achievements an enthusiastic and
practical crusade in the ranks of the
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals. He was much pleased with

The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular Is, that
while always reliable as a cathartic
medicine, they never leave any Ill
enects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from Gallo
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf

In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements of the liver are SO
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. ID. w. Baine, New
Berne, \. c., writes:
Il suffered long time with stomach
and liver troubles. | tried various rem
edies. but received no benefit until |
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. took them

Suppressed by the Police

LIMERICK, November T.-An attempt
made to-day to hold a demonstration in
honor of the Manchester martyrs, was
suppressed by the police. The unveil-
ing of the statue to commemorate the
hanging was part of the programme.
MIR. McInnery, of New York, who had
been chosen to preside, was addressing
the people when the police made an
onslaught on the crowd. This was an
swered by stone throwing, but the
crowd was dispersed. Subsequently
wherever groups were found the police
charged upon them and seized their
flags. A number Of people we're hurt.
Troops now occupy the thoroughfares.
The police used their batons indis-
criminately, clubbing men, women and
small boys, pursuing the fleeing people
into their houses. a serious disturbance
occurred tonight. A crowd stoned
and hooted the police who tried to clear
the streets with batons and bayonets,
but met with great resistance. Many
civilians and constables were injured.
The police acted in reckless manner.
The windows of hotels on the street
were filed with onlookers who tainted
the police The police replied by throw
ing stats and stones, breaking large
number of windows. Thirty persons
had wounds dressed at the hospital.
ALI is quiet now.

A Chronic Tendency Overcome.

Many persons are troubled with a
chronic tendency to constipation. They
are of bilious temperament. The COM
plant to which they are subject,
though easily remediable by judicIous
treatment, is in many cases aggravated
by q resort to drastic purgatives and
sholagogues. As the human stomach
and bowels are lined with a delicate
membrane, and not with vulcsnite, they
cannot stand prolonged drenching with
such medicines without serious injury.
Nothing restores and counteracts an
habitual tendency to constipation go
effectually as Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Its laxative effect is gentle al d
progressive. 1t neither convulses nor
weakens the intestines, and its fleets
are unaccompanied by gripping pains.
1t arouses the liver when the organ is
sluggish, promotes digestion, and en-
courages appetite and sleep. For fever
and ague, kidney troubles, nervous
complaints and lnciTient rheumatism,
1t is incompatible. Take a wineglass
before meals and see how soon you
will relish them.
